How to Make It:

1. Cut off the top of a clean pint- or quart-sized milk carton so the bottom is 3 1/2 inches tall. Discard the top part.

2. Cover the carton with brown grocery-bag paper. Tape it in place.

3. Use markets to color about twelve wooden spoons. Glue the spoons onto the carton. Hold them in place with rubber bands until the glue dries.

4. Fill the holder with pens and pencils, and set it near the memo board. Keep some paper and pushpins handy.
